Can only find a buy option, not a upgrade option.... ?
-
if you have mc10 registered, install mc11 you should then see an upgrade option.
-
Ok, the FAQ could have included that info ....
-
The buy button inside MC11 will open a purchase web page. It will offer you the upgrade price if you have previously installed and registrated MC10 on the same PC (and operating system installation) you are using for the purchase. You can uninstall MC10 if you like to before installing MC11. The registration history will be preserved in the system.
Ok, the FAQ could have included that info ....
Yes, the information could be presented better - on the purchase page, MC Help and FAQ here. It's a bit difficult to find it currently.

MC11 picked up my MC10 library but all the links to the files were broken. Trying to play a tune resulted in an error asking me to verify the library path and to ensure that content filtering was not on.
Looking at the tooltip presented over an individual file, the path displayed was correct.
I had to rescan my HD for tunes (quite a lenghty process).

I upgraded my laptop & desktop to MC11 yesterday and my experience with each was slightly different.
On the Desktop, I let MC11 uninstall MC10 first, and here the upgrade process did not pick up the existing MC10 library at all. Fortunately, I had a backup of the library and was able to copy that to the right place and restore from that and after a bit of cleanup (broken links showing up similar to what meep reported) I was back in business.
On the laptop, I did a coresident install, and here the library WAS imported correctly. In fact, this approach worked better because I was also able to copy over some of my other config files (skins, trackinfo, visualizations etc) from the MC10 folder to the new one, and then eventually uninstall MC10 once I had everything in MC11 working.
Not sure if the above behavior is "as designed" but it seems like doing a coresident install first and make sure everything's working ok before uninstalling MC10 (or whatever version you're upgrading from) may be way to go.
Also, I wish that the library would be imported correctly when the user choses to uninstall MC10 first during the install process of MC11.

I wonder if you had more than one library.
